麻豆约拍

Elizabeth Alker journeys to the outer edges of ambient, electronic and post-classical music, and revels in the spaces between.

As the London Jazz Festival takes over corners of the capital once again, Elizabeth looks at the ongoing sonic conversation between improvised and ambient music 鈥� the rich evidence of which can be found punctuating this year鈥檚 line-up, with the harpist Alina Bzhezhinska channelling the spirit of Alice Coltrane, and Damon Albarn leading a joyous celebration of Tony Allen鈥檚 groundbreaking drum work. Elsewhere, the American poet and musician Moor Mother creates vivid hypnagogic soundscapes, haunted by half-memories from her country鈥檚 past, but radically anchored in this present moment.
